Pedl cyc driver injured in collision w unsp mv nontraf, init

This code describes injuries sustained by a person operating a pedal cycle (e.g., bicycle) who collides with an unspecified motor vehicle. The incident occurs in a non-traffic area, such as a private driveway, parking lot, or recreational path. This specific code is for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with injuries resulting from being the driver of a bicycle involved in a collision with a motor vehicle, and the accident did not occur on a public roadway. This applies to the first encounter for the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial physician visit.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the patient was the driver of the pedal cycle.
• Verify the accident occurred in a nontraffic environment.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
